I noticed one of the 4 posts coming through the top of the IR board did have a crappy looking solder joint so I reflowed that. We'll see if that helps. I imagine the surface mount joints on the lower (main) board are the real weakness though.

Thanks for the photo. I'll take a look at mine.

Thanks for all the great input! I suspect it's an electrical glitch with the barometer or with the IR sensor. If the IR sensor momentarily reported the Breeze was on the ground, the barometric altitude would reset as you noted. When it resets and begins climbing, the ascent does register as...

In my case this does not involve a loss of wifi. All of my flying is done in controller mode. Finally today I observed what happens. The Breeze was hovering at just under 50 feet for maybe 30 seconds when it started gaining altitude again. I looked at my screen and noticed the altimiter had...

The whole bottom panel covering the switch and the main board can be popped off. That should allow you to get to the momentary power switch with your finger and turn it on. Could you post a picture of the carnage? Then we can suggest how you might fire it up.

I would agree with this and get out the DeOxit, but again, if it were bad joystick contacts or a joystick that didn't return to zero, then it would happen even at low altitudes. I happen to have a complete additional Breeze kit that's never been opened. Bought it as a spare when they were...

So I gather this is not something often seen on these things. :mad:

No tall buildings. One suburban neighborhood and one rural. Some tall trees around in the rural setting. I thought about GPS, but the Breeze is using GPS for lat,lon not altitude right? Yeah, it could be stick input but that should happen regardless of altitude. I have never seen the...

I have generally enjoyed my Breeze. It's a great little drone for the price. I always operate in controller mode with the Yuneec controller. It's stable and operates as expected MOST of the time. I have not yet had a crash. However, on several occasions while hovering at altitudes of around...
